Review: ZTE Blade Z Max for MetroPCS
The ZTE Blade Z Max punches well above its weight class. The phone may be a little boring to look at, but ZTE selected good materials and put them together well. The enormous screen is bright and colorful, data performance is quite good, and battery life is among the best available.
Many will appreciate the stock Android experience, particularly since it runs so well on the Blade Z Max's Snapdragon 435 processor. The camera app is robust and mostly easy to use, even when poking around with the dual shooting modes. Speaking of which, while the Blade Z Max's dual-camera features fell a little short of my expectations, it's still in a class all by itself at this price point.
MetroPCS sells the Blade Z Max for a mere $130. That's an absolute steal, considering all the Blade Z Max offers. For the pre-paid crowd, the ZTE Blade Z Max is a no-brainer.
